Last week, I had a really eventful weekend. Actually, all my weekends have been pretty crazy so far. And incidentally I’m still recovering from this one too. But before I digress all the way to China, let’s talk about the most recent Cooking Competition I had the opportunity to participate in: Philips Ultimate Cook Off…

A lot could be say about me. But I'll leave you to find out here http://www.facebook.com/kellysiew
For the purpose of this blog, let's just say I love food. Both making it, and devouring it.
Mediteca, Fraser Place: New Menu
There are only a few Italian/Mediterranean restaurants that I would happily return to, and Mediteca is one of them. The last time I was there, I only got to sample a small fraction of their menu, so I was elated to receive an invitation to enjoy their new menu items. It’s always heartening to see…
AFF Indochina: Banh Xeo (Vietnamese Sizzling Crepes)
My final recipe for AFF Indochina happens to be a popular one as we have already seen a few submissions of this delectable treat: Banh Xeo. This is another dish I’ve never actually tried in a Vietnamese restaurant but now I think I have fallen in love with it! Banh Xeo literally means “sizzling cake”…
Ramadhan Buffet at Essence, Sheraton Imperial KL
The second Ramadhan Buffet we sampled was none other than Essence, Sheraton Imperial. This wasn’t my first time at Essence and in fact I was pretty happy with my previous visit several months ago. Apart from the usual offerings, Chef Faizal and his team has put together a special buka puasa menu with an exiciting…
Ramadhan Buffet @ Latest Recipe, Le Meridien KL
Where has the time gone? One blink of eye and it’s only 2 days to the start of Ramadhan. I had the pleasure to attend 2 Ramadhan buffet previews this year and coincidentally both belonged to my favourite hotel group: Starwood. The first one was Latest Recipe @ Le Meridien, and that would be our…
US Potato Culinary Challenge
You say Po-tay-to… I say Po-tah-to? Well last week we definitely went all potatoed-out for the US Potato Culinary Challenge and I feel very honoured to be invited as a blogger judge for this very special event. The US Potato Board (USPB) has partnered with the Culinary Association of Malaysia (CAM) to launch the challenge…
AFF Indochina: Caramelized Chicken (Ga Kho)
Well we are back to Vietnam today and here is another Chicken recipe. I love discovering new dishes like this! Usually in a Vietnamese restaurant I don’t order any Chicken dishes because I’m always distracted by my two other favourites (Namely Pho and Broken Rice) and it’s hard enough to pick one. At least Ga…
AFF Indochina: Trop Ang Chia Mui Trey ( Grilled Eggplant and Scallops)
It’s already half way through the Indochina month and I’m loving all the submissions so far, although it seems a little slow. Most of the dishes from these countries are pretty easy to make, so if you have time do try cooking some of them and submit to me! My third recipe for this month…
AFF Indochina: Ping Kai (Laotian Roast Chicken)
My second contribution to AFF Indochina is a Laotian recipe: Ping Kai. It’s also called Kai Yang in Thailand but essentially the recipe is brought over to Thailand by the Lao people too. This is a very popular street food you can find pretty much anywhere locally, often paired with the tam mak hoong (Lao…
